7 min readJun 15, 2025

A master architect strives to drive a set of principles and draw up a framework to capture all aspects of a solution with linked taxonomies in the most succinct means possible with clarity assured, leaving no space for ambiguity, uncertainty or paradox. S/he leaves trails of caveats as s/he knows wider perspectives will one day set in, and s/he sets a space to await for that moment.

🟢 The Classic Trade-off

We all started with the Classic Trade-off:

Fast, Cheap, Good — pick any two.

Yet, each requires its clear definition and measurements. To navigate this triad, systems require built-in balancing mechanisms.

🟢 Completeness and Clarity Verses Complexity

Complexity is a cost that wears down and kills. The hidden cost is burn-out and burn-down.

🟢 The Art of The System — Adaptive Monitoring, Identification, Recognition, Control, and Recovery (AMIRCR)

In ensure homeostasis, BIST is a promise.

As well, there has to be an adaptive detection and control — Feedback Loops and inbuilt regulators. With health-assurance pacers, circuit-breaking mechanisms, and parameter tuning modules to stabilize behavior. This also means that Cooperativity Modules are a nature of the system, enabling cross-examination between…
